Rimsen reacted to Mark Caliber in Double Bladed Lightsaber
It's not "The" only bridge.
Being flung off of an actual bridge into a 100+ foot pit into a maneto shield barrier where your body not only gets vaporized, but the dark energy trapped by your vile evil body radiates the ensorcelled darkness melodramatically and THEN to find out your not actually dead because a hack writer/director who's trying to resuscitate a failing reboot trilogy is ALSO a bridge too far.
Also getting cut in half by a perfectly functional single bladed lightsaber and falling down another bottomless pit and then getting a spider body attached to somehow pretend that your cranium would survive falling damage at that height? ALSO a bridge too far . . .
I have lots of bridges in the Star Wars universe that I won't cross.

Rimsen reacted to Truthiness in Un-Named Steel Strategy Armada Podcast
All I see is someone being a crybaby by saying things are "overpowered and undercosted, and changes the way the game is played in some fundamental way. "Broken.""

If I have 7 tiers, I'm going to use all 7.

Basically, if we were all teachers, Biggs is the one you go to in order to get an easy A. Proof of Biggs softness:
Smitty Average: 2.46
Truthi Average: 2.68
Biggs Average: 3.32

Well, when you put it like that...
Yes. That about sums it up.

I'm not. This drawback is over the top, literally no reason to take with anything larger than medium.

Start arguing about commander rankings! We're right and you're wrong.
Or rather, I'm right and shmitty and Truthiness are wrong. And YOU can be right if you agree with me!

Updates for today. So much stuff to do!
How to use black dice article. Minor updates, some editing, added some hyperlinks. Ion cannons High Capacity Ion Turbines got even worse because it competes for Modification slots with its 1.0 buddy H9 Turbolasers. Even then, it was a fairly niche build mostly seen on ISD-Is. Ion Cannon Batteries got better with 1.5 focusing more on command tokens and command-triggered upgrades. New Leading Shots at 6 points. MS-1s got a little better but not much. NK-7s are still terrible. Overload Pulse Avenger interaction discussion removed. Thankfully. Interdictor Between Brunson getting pricier and ECMs needing repair tokens to ready, I honestly feel like it's a matter of meta and preference now between Brunson and Tua/ECM. Both options are 9 points. The Interdictor title readying ECMs for free is a nice touch, so I lean Tua nowadays. Combat Interdictor is still the worst ship in the game. Yay! Konstantine New Konstantine, new article. Substantial overhaul here. I'm still not sure Konstantine is actually worth using but he's much less bad than he was in 1.0. Armada peripherals Minor editing. -
Rimsen reacted to micheldebruyn in Double Bladed Lightsaber
Technically, yes, it has two crystals.
Practically, the game treats this as one big crystal that costs double the amount of cash to aquire or upgrade. And that also means you can't give the two blades different upgrades.
It's in the weapon descrion of the double saber in the F&D core book.

Rimsen reacted to Nytwyng in Rogue Squadron
Nah. I just didn’t think it was all that great. Others did. (But then, I’m also not much of a Tom Cruise fan.) Hopefully, Rogue Squadron will have more of a Rogue Squadron vibe than a Top Gun vibe.

Rimsen reacted to Triangular in Muneficent class frigate
With Armada 1.5 they nerfed all no-brainer-upgrades, but they forgot LTT. I bet, when the next RRG comes out we will find it in the Errata section being exhaustable.

Rimsen reacted to flatpackhamster in Muneficent class frigate
I've faced it once, playing as the republic, with a pair of Acclamators blundering around the board. Watching the Munificents execute perfect tidy synchronised turns while I played dodgems with my morbidly obese walruses was a deeply depressing experience.
Here are the dials you choose with an Acclamator:
Turn 1 - Maneuver
Turn 2 - Squads, no wait I need another maneuver dial.
Turn 3 - Squads, no wait, maneuver or I'll hit my own side/asteroids.
Turn 4 - Engineering, no wait squads, no wait maneuver.
Turn 5 - Engi...oh, too late.
Turn 6......

Rimsen reacted to The Jabbawookie in Harrow and vanguard should have been new ship cards, not uniques
I don't know if I even agree with that.
Who would take a Combat Interdictor for 50 points? Just about everyone?
Then a points change can fix it and it's too expensive.

I think I was required to relinquish my “80s teenager” credentials when one viewing of Top Gun was more than enough for me. 🤣

Updates for the past two days:
Fleet support A little editing and mostly bringing Slicer Tools up to date. It's still a good card but you need to be a lot more careful with how you use it. Gozantis The Minister Tua Electronic Countermeasures Slicer Tools Suppressor Gozanti build was cute, although not necessarily that great. Now that both of the big upgrades eat repair tokens to ready, it's not really viable anymore. Possible substitutes exist but you're in much greater danger of "oops, that's my scatter" followed by the sound of comms static and a distant explosion. Bidding Minor upkeep. Attack sequence Added the new reminder bullet point from the RRG that you can attack engaged squadrons. Otherwise, nothing needed to be changed. General Tagge New version up. Fairly major overhaul of the discussion portion given there's more considerations for him right now what with the round choosing element. He still kinda sucks, but I think there's something there for someone determined to get him to work. That non-consecutive round requirement is the main culprit here and was totally unnecessary. Fleet building 101 basics of fleet building Minor editing, added some hyperlinks. -
Rimsen reacted to Green Knight in I Have You Now - Not-so-new (but still opinionated) Armada blog
I intermittently write blog posts.
I make no promises as to quality or regularity.
Sometimes I descend into theory-crafting and might-have-beens.
Best to stay away.
You've been warned.
